Jean Godfrey-June on Being a Beauty Editor at Goop, the Golden Era of Magazines, the Greatness That Was Lucky Magazine, What It’s Like Inside a Beauty Closet, Celebrity Beauty Lines, and So Much More
![I'd Rather Be Reading Podcast](/https/podcasts.apple.com/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
Today’s episode is truly a dream come true—I get to chat with one of my heroes in the magazine industry, Jean Godfrey-June, current beauty editor at Goop, former beauty editor at Lucky, a writer for Elle and Vanity Fair, and the author of today’s throwback pick, 2006’s Free Gift with Purchase: My Improbable Career in Magazines and Makeup—her memoir. I am happy to tell you that, even though she’s interviewed everyone and seen everything, she is so down to earth and relatable—the ultimate cool girl. A legend in the beauty space and in the magazine industry (and she is currently cringing as she reads this), Jean takes us inside the golden era of magazines, what its like to be inside the beauty closet at one of the world’s biggest fashion magazines, and we pay very much due homage to the dearly departed Lucky magazine. This is a conversation not to be missed, my friends.
